/AWS1/IF_CWL=>PUTQUERYDEFINITION()

About PutQueryDefinition

Creates or updates a query definition for CloudWatch Logs Insights. For more information, see Analyzing Log Data with CloudWatch Logs Insights.

To update a query definition, specify its queryDefinitionId in your request. The values of name, queryString, and logGroupNames are changed to the values that you specify in your update operation. No current values are retained from the current query definition. For example, imagine updating a current query definition that includes log groups. If you don't specify the logGroupNames parameter in your update operation, the query definition changes to contain no log groups.

You must have the logs:PutQueryDefinition permission to be able to perform this operation.

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

iv_name TYPE /AWS1/CWLQUERYDEFINITIONNAME /AWS1/CWLQUERYDEFINITIONNAME

A name for the query definition. If you are saving numerous query definitions, we recommend that you name them. This way, you can find the ones you want by using the first part of the name as a filter in the queryDefinitionNamePrefix parameter of DescribeQueryDefinitions.

iv_querystring TYPE /AWS1/CWLQUERYDEFINITIONSTRING /AWS1/CWLQUERYDEFINITIONSTRING

The query string to use for this definition. For more information, see CloudWatch Logs Insights Query Syntax.

Optional arguments:

iv_querylanguage TYPE /AWS1/CWLQUERYLANGUAGE /AWS1/CWLQUERYLANGUAGE

Specify the query language to use for this query. The options are Logs Insights QL, OpenSearch PPL, and OpenSearch SQL. For more information about the query languages that CloudWatch Logs supports, see Supported query languages.

iv_querydefinitionid TYPE /AWS1/CWLQUERYID /AWS1/CWLQUERYID

If you are updating a query definition, use this parameter to specify the ID of the query definition that you want to update. You can use DescribeQueryDefinitions to retrieve the IDs of your saved query definitions.

If you are creating a query definition, do not specify this parameter. CloudWatch generates a unique ID for the new query definition and include it in the response to this operation.

it_loggroupnames TYPE /AWS1/CL_CWLLOGGROUPNAMES_W=>TT_LOGGROUPNAMES TT_LOGGROUPNAMES

Use this parameter to include specific log groups as part of your query definition. If your query uses the OpenSearch Service query language, you specify the log group names inside the querystring instead of here.

If you are updating an existing query definition for the Logs Insights QL or OpenSearch Service PPL and you omit this parameter, then the updated definition will contain no log groups.

iv_clienttoken TYPE /AWS1/CWLCLIENTTOKEN /AWS1/CWLCLIENTTOKEN

Used as an idempotency token, to avoid returning an exception if the service receives the same request twice because of a network error.

RETURNING

oo_output TYPE REF TO /aws1/cl_cwlputquerydefnrsp /AWS1/CL_CWLPUTQUERYDEFNRSP

Domain /AWS1/RT_ACCOUNT_ID
Primitive Type NUMC

Syntax Example

This is an example of the syntax for calling the method. It includes every possible argument and initializes every possible value. The data provided is not necessarily semantically accurate (for example the value "string" may be provided for something that is intended to be an instance ID, or in some cases two arguments may be mutually exclusive). The syntax shows the ABAP syntax for creating the various data structures.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->/aws1/if_cwl~putquerydefinition(
  it_loggroupnames = VALUE /aws1/cl_cwlloggroupnames_w=>tt_loggroupnames(
    ( new /aws1/cl_cwlloggroupnames_w( |string| ) )
  )
  iv_clienttoken = |string|
  iv_name = |string|
  iv_querydefinitionid = |string|
  iv_querylanguage = |string|
  iv_querystring = |string|
).

This is an example of reading all possible response values

lo_result = lo_result.
IF lo_result IS NOT INITIAL.
  lv_queryid = lo_result->get_querydefinitionid( ).
ENDIF.
